Why I was late"On the way to the station, I got hit by a bat, it almost took my head clean off. Then the machine would not accept my ticket and the guy at the gate didn't think I looked like the photo on my travel card. So I had to go home and get my passport.
Then the train was 45 minutes late to the station because of the dangerous badger threat at Carpenters Park.
When I was on the train it took and hour and a half to get past the biscuit factory because the driver was really fat.
Then there was a delay stopping at the station because the train in front had heard we were coming and decided to play a practical joke with a rubber shoe on the track.
That is why I couldn't get here on time today."
What's your best excuse?

A Girl back in schoolShe was living a two minute walk from school, and still managed to come in late every morning. At least she usually had another amusing story as for why she had not managed to fall out of bed, which would have brought her half way in.
One Day she claimed, she had to wait for her sister to have an onset of asthma.
Another day a strange man was standing in front of her house, equivocally requesting to have a look at her electricity meter, and she was affraid to pass him by.
My favourite excuse however was, after she had lost 30 minutes on a 2 minute walk she came in, and casually announced, she had had headwind.
